My mum and I don’t have the closest of relationship, it was my 30th last year and I didn’t get anything from her. I know it’s not about gifts but a card would of been nice to know I had been thought of. I had mentioned it to her and she just laughed it off.

It’s her birthday this week, AIBU to do the same for her 🙃

I wouldn't send her anything, not because of a grudge or to punish her, but because she's quite plainly shown you birthdays and cards aren't important to her.
